All the gaskets and seals you'll need will come as a set, you won't need to order them all separately. While you have the heads off, replace the valve stem seals too.

You will need a good sealant,like the Right Stuff for the front and rear of the intake. Band-aids,perhaps and a lot of patience and determination.. J/K. Good luck.

And that doesn't mean put it on the others just 'cuz. The rest should be lightly oiled so you can get a proper torque reading, but no sealant.

Good point, but to take that tip a little further, even the bolts that thread into the water jacket, and get sealer, ALSO get a drop of oil under the bolt heads, between the washer, so you get a smooth pull on the torque wrench, and proper torque is achieved.
